This disclosure describes techniques that include collecting flow data associated with communications between network devices, and determining, based on the flow data, one or more virtual networks over which the communications are taking place. In one example, this disclosure describes a system configured to perform operations comprising: storing virtual network configuration information associated with a first virtual network and a second virtual network established within a network; collecting underlay flow data associated with communications between a first server and a second server, wherein each of the first server and the second server are implemented as bare metal servers; determining, based on the underlay flow data and the stored virtual network configuration information, that the first server and the second server have communicated over the first virtual network; and generating a user interface.

Some embodiments provide a novel method for deploying different virtual networks over several public cloud datacenters for different entities. For each entity, the method (1) identifies a set of public cloud datacenters of one or more public cloud providers to connect a set of machines of the entity, (2) deploys managed forwarding nodes (MFNs) for the entity in the identified set of public cloud datacenters, and then (3) configures the MFNs to implement a virtual network that connects the entity's set of machines across its identified set of public cloud datacenters. In some embodiments, the method identifies the set of public cloud datacenters for an entity by receiving input from the entity's network administrator. In some embodiments, this input specifies the public cloud providers to use and/or the public cloud regions in which the virtual network should be defined. Conjunctively, or alternatively, this input in some embodiments specifies actual public cloud datacenters to use.

There is provided a measurement apparatus and a measurement method capable of easily performing measurement on a DUT by automatically specifying a Bluetooth (registered trademark) core specification version supported by the DUT. A command packet corresponding to the highest Bluetooth core specification version is transmitted to the DUT, in a case where an event including an error response is returned from the DUT, a command packet corresponding to the next lower Bluetooth core specification version than the command packet of the returned event continuously transmitted to the DUT, in a case where an event not including an error response is returned from the DUT, the Bluetooth core specification version of the command packet of the returned event is specified as the Bluetooth core specification version supported by the DUT, and measurement is performed on the DUT by using the command packet corresponding to the specified Bluetooth core specification version.

An edge controller may be used for obtaining device data from one or more local devices at a local facility and to provide a representation of at least some of the device data to a remote server. The edge controller may include a network communication port, a cellular communication port and a device communication port. A controller is operatively coupled to the network communication port, the cellular communication port and the device communication port and is configured to receive configuration information and to install the received configuration information on the edge controller. The installed configuration information configures the controller to obtain the device data from the one or more local devices and to send a representation of at least some of the device data to the remote server.

Deploying configurations on computing devices and validating compliance with the configurations during scheduled intervals. Particular embodiments described herein include computing devices that send a requests to a management platform at different time periods for lists of configurations that are assigned to those computing devices at those different time periods. Received lists include identifiers of the configurations that are assigned to the those computing devices during the different time periods. Local agents on the computing devices use the received lists to determine if each of the configurations in that list are implemented. If a configuration is not implemented on a computing device, the local agent on that computing device implements that configuration or alerts the management platform that the configuration could not be implemented.

Topology information including a plurality of snapshots of a network topology associated with respective points in time for a network can be received by an apparatus. Each snapshot is represented as a graph of nodes each corresponding to a network resource and having a node identifier. The graph for each snapshot is modified by replacing nodes representing network resources having the same role in the network with a single aggregated node. Feature learning is performed based on the modified graphs representing the plurality of snapshots, and determines a feature representation for each node in the modified graphs. An identifier for each node in the plurality of snapshots is associated with the corresponding feature representation for use in the correlation of network resources. Node identifiers for nodes in the same aggregated node in a modified graph are associated with the same feature representation.

A system may include a database disposed within a remote network management platform, a server device disposed in the platform, and a client device. The database may contain representations of configuration items, such as computing devices and software applications associated with the managed network. The server device may provide a graphical user interface including a sequence of panes to the client device. The sequence of panes may include an identifier pane, an identification rules pane, and a reconciliation pane. Each pane may include data entry fields that are operable to define a new class of configuration item. The server device may receive, by way of the graphical user interface, a definition of the new class that uniquely identifies configuration items of a particular type using at least the attributes. The server may store, in the database, the definition of the new class.

A network building apparatus (2) includes a collection unit (11) configured to scan each node connected to a network and collect environmental data of the network, a design unit (21) configured to design a virtual network obtained by virtualizing the network based on the environmental data collected by the collection unit (11), and an output unit (31) configured to output design data of the virtual network designed by the design unit (21).
